Honey
1 Lemon
2 Cups chopped fresh peaches
1 Cup of fresh basil
Fine mesh strainer

Squeeze the juice of 1 large fresh lemon into the steeped tea
In a large saucepan bring peaches, the remaining half of the honey mixture and ½ cup of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring, until peaches begin to break up
